Destroy your PC and receive $1000 from StarForce!

[streetwolf]

StarForce is announcing world wide contest among users of StarForce protected applications!!!

There have been a lot of rumors in the Internet concerning DVD/CD writers malfunction after installation and star-up of StarForce protected applications. Some have even mentioned that should such malfunctioning drive be placed in any other PC without StarForce protection installed it will fail to work as well.

In the past year our staff and many of our clients tried restlessly to reproduce the matter based on these rumors. Using our hardware collection we assembled systems alike, but such problems never took place.
Therefore, we have no proven facts of such issues and we have found out that all of these rumors are false.

We have serious reasons to believe that such problems are pure fiction.
However, if such problem does exist, it should be repeatable. Therefore, just to make sure, StarForce decided to have a worldwide contest among users of StarForce protected applications.

Anyone who can reproduce and demonstrate the mentioned above problem with CD/DVD drive in our office will receive $1000.00 US.

You should arrive in our office with your PC or use any of our PCs and reproduce the problem.

Here are the terms of the contest:

All the drives in the system should be properly functioning prior to the installation of a StarForce protected product.

After the installation and start-up of StarForce protected product the problem with (CD/DVD read-write malfunction) must exist and be reproduced in any other configuration.
If you can be the first to reproduce this situation in our office, we will be happy to award you with $1000.00 US, cover your trip to Moscow and pay 2 days lodging.

Please submit your applications before January 31 2006.

Yeah right, i'm sure there are problems associated with starforce, but I doubt they would honor their promise, even if someone took the time to reproduce the problem in front of them. Even if the problem could be reproduced, I'm sure they would just claim that it wasn't caused by starforce.

How considerate of them! We truly are not worthy!......SF makers seem to be rather disturbed (more likely..missed the point altogether) that the buying public dont like having their systems "penetrated" by SF?
Perhaps the public have been saving their money? Perhaps...veto-ing games or software containing starforce.....?

Maybe the buying public dont like being "told" in a round about way, what software they can and cant use on their own home computer... ?

Whatever the reasons.............It could be a frosty winter ahead...... the makers of SF could well feel the pinch in their pockets this christmas..... keep trying to convince people SF makers, that you really provide a consumer friendly product............

I smell SF chickens coming home to roost.....




Lesson to makers of SF:
Bite the hand that feeds .........and eventually you will incurr it's displeasure...........!

Power to the people...speak with your purses and wallets ladies and gentlemen!
